Mundi

“Never have I seen anywhere a troop that embodies the concept of the World of Music and Dance as Mundi have..” -New Plymouth

Mundi is super excited to return to Nelson with an abundance of new music to dance to. With local group The Immigrannz Collective to open with their cumbia and world flavours, prepare to be transported!

Filled with joy and exuberant energy, Mundi Trio has captured hearts across the land and far-flung seas, touring and performing extensively. Just some of the events include Newtown Festival, Festival of Lights (New Plymouth) Christchurch Arts Festival and TEDX. They have also been involved in collaborations with Pub Choir in the Christchurch Town Hall and internationally renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Marlon Williams as part of Yo-Yo Ma's Bach Project.

Mundi’s performances are mesmerizing- weaving together the two oldest instruments in human’s history – flutes and percussion- into a sizzling array of duelling Brazilian/African percussion with hypnotic guitar, pulsing bass and vocal melodies soaring above and interlaces stories through music of our interaction’s with nature and ourselves.

With dances choreographed by Tamara intertwined, these exciting new compositions lure people into an ancient memory of the pulse of life and awaken our dancing selves lurking beneath..

Mundi comprises Brazilian percussionist Ricardo Stuani, guitarist and dancer Chris Dabinett, bassist Mike Story and flautist, vocalist, percussionist, dancer and composer Tamara Smith.

** Supported by local band 'The Immigrannz Collective' as opening act.
